My Ecoboost had 12,000 miles on it, idk what happened. Smoking, then pulled over, and things started blowing up. Night mare. Do not buy a new truck from Ford. The dealer Phil Long told me to get it off of thier property. Only asked me what I did to it, which I only changed the antenna.

Did you have it towed to the dealer? Seems like that would go right to a lot since it’s a total.

Wow that's the 2nd f150 on fire while towing in the past couple days. What's really going on with Ford

I did take it to the dealer, I really thought they would at least ask if I was OK, and try to help me. The trailer was 4000 lbs and empty, the towing capacity was advertised at 14000.

Looks like an insurance claim not a warranty repair

It absolutely is, my lawyer and insurance rep recommended I take it to the dealer first, but I now already have a claim going. My insurance is going to have an investigator look at it as well.

I think there is a real downside to the aluminum body panels is they will not help protect you in a fire, they instantly melt away

I'm wondering if this is related to the direct injection of gasoline. Thus a high pressure fule line(s) could separate at a union or crack... Then gasoline would be spraying out causing a fire... Notably these are not battery fires as the location is way off from the battery.

I thought my truck had 2 alternators, and now there is only one on the engine. I scraped this off the ground with a shovel, I'm not sure if it was an alternator or not, but all of the other engine accessories were still intact
